The odds ratio(OR) for all types of cancer was 1.79(1.56–2.05), and for individual cancers was 1.92(1.42–2.59) for lung cancer, 1.57(1.40–1.76) for breast cancer, 1.52(1.12–2.05) for bladder cancer, and 1.37(1.08–1.73) for liver cancer. The OR for circulatory system diseases was 1.92(1.29–2.85), with a value of 2.29(1.26–4.159) for stroke. The OR of respiratory system diseases was 1.76(1.13–2.74), with a value of 1.82(1.07–3.11) for childhood asthma. The original ORs were also shown for other diseases. Subgroup analyses were performed for lung and breast cancer. The ORs varied according to time period and were significant during exposure in the household;For lung cancer, the OR was significant in women.Conclusion The effect of SHS exposure in China was similar to that in Western countries, but its definition and characterization require further clarification. Studies on the association between SHS exposure and certain diseases with high incidence rates are insufficient.展开更多

Group B t, group B2.5 and group B4 were used as non smoking controls at corresponding time points. TNF-α in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and expression of VEGF in lung tissue was determined by ELISA or by SABC immunohistochemistry assay either. Lung slices were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). Results showed that in animal with smoke exposure the mean linear interceptor (Lm), an index of pulmonary emphysema and the content of TNF-α in BALF increased gradually, on contrary, the expression of VEGF in lung tissue decreased (P〈0.05). This phenomenon was not obvious in animals without smoke exposure. Lm was negatively correlated to the VEGF expression (7=--0.81, P〈0.01) and positively correlated to TNF-α concentration (7 = 0.52, P〈0.004), which implies that smoke exposure decreased the expression of VEGF and increased the expression of TNF-α. It is plausible to speculate that the imbalance of TNF-α and VEGF may play an important role in the pathogenesis of smoke-induced pulmonary emphysema.展开更多

Among asthma risk factors, the effect of tobacco smoke exposure on bronchial asthma is still debated. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the association between environmental and direct tobacco smoke (cigarette and hookah) exposure and incidence and control of bronchial asthma. Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 109 patients with asthma referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ardabil city. Asthma Control Questionnaire was used for evaluating of asthma control. Patients’ asthma control was individually evaluated and compared with together with particular attention to history of tobacco smoke exposure. Chi square and Tav-Kendal were used to analyze the data in SPSS15 software. Results: The history of tobacco smoke exposure was found in 31.2% of the 109 patients. Patients with uncontrolled asthma with 60.6% constituted the largest volume of all samples. There was no significant correlation between tobacco smoke exposure and asthma occurrence (P > 0.05), also there was not found significant correlation between tobacco smoke exposure and asthma control (Error coefficient > 0.10). Conclusion: According to the results, history of tobacco (cigarette and hookah) smoke exposure (environmental and direct) has no effect on the asthma occurs and control status.展开更多

For the acute toxicity study, five groups of Wistar rats(n = 16/group, male: female =1∶1) were exposed to five different concentrations(95%, 90%, 85%, 80% and 75%, respectively) of MBP for 2 h. For the chronic toxicity study, another three groups of male rats(n = 21/group) were exposed to MBP in three concentrations(10%, 40%and 70%, respectively) and one control group exposed to clean air 20 min/d for 144 d. Routine examinations were performed and analyzed by analysis of variance and dose-response relationship.RESULTS: In the acute toxicity study, the number of dead rats in the 95%, 90%, 85%, 80% and 75%groups were 16, 13, 7, 6 and 3, respectively, with LD50 of 86.274% after or during the 2 h exposure.In the chronic toxicity study, MBP exposure induced a decline in activity of the rats. Rats in the10% group showed no signs of toxicity, while those in the 40% MBP group showed toxicity effects on the body weights(P < 0.05) and lung. Rats in the70% MBP group also presented with reversible damage in the blood coagulation system(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Exposure to 10% MBP, which is equivalent to 27.45 mg/m3, was under the critical threshold for male rats' safety. Exposure to MBP above that limit induced lung damage. MBP in clinics need to be reduced to a safe level with enhanced ventilation.展开更多
